Combo List

This list is meant for actual combos, not for frame traps, blockstrings, or mixups. If the combo itself allows to set them up afterwards, it is mentioned in the "Notes" field).
The list is focused on most practical examples, not every single option that exists.
All damage values are damage dealt to Ky unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
The difficulty is ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard) based on various factors (cancel leniency, link timings, special techniques, range consistency, etc).

Beginner Combo List

Combo List

Punch Starters

Combo	Position	Damage	Tension Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes	Video	Recipe
66 5PPP/2PPP > 6P > ...	Not Corner	62/58	+11%	All	Very Easy	Works on all characters both standing and crouching, including Faust. Run momentum is required if you wish to land the 3rd P. 2P has less knockback than 5P, but also less damage, so if you're not point-blank you might wish to do 3 2Ps instead of 2 5Ps for more total damage.	Video	TBD
6P > 236S	Anywhere	81	+9.5%	KY	Very Easy	Only works at point-blank range, or with dash momentum.	Video	TBD
AA 5P > 236H > 66 5K > 6H > ...	Anywhere	94	+15%	KY	Medium	You can half-charge the 236H if the opponent is too high to be hit by the slash from Grave Reaper.	Video	TBD
AA 5P > 6H > 236236P > 66 c.S > 5[D] > 66 5K > 6H WS > [214S/H] or 214P	Near Back to Corner	207	-40%	KY	Medium	If your back is right to the corner, you won't be able to break the wall unless you're willing to spend another 50% tension.	Video	TBD

Kick Starters

Combo	Position	Damage	Tension Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes	Video	Recipe
5K/2K > 2D > 236S	Anywhere	95		SO, KY	Very Easy	K starter with lots of carrry	Video	TBD
5K/2K > 2D > 236H > 66 5K > 6H > 214S/214H	Anywhere	139	+25%~	KY	Medium	There may possibly be an optimal decision between 214S/214H, the opponent seems to recover at the same time from both, but one rolls and the other knocks up. Needs some research.	Video	TBD
5K/2K > 2D > 236H > 66 5K > 6H > 236S WS > [214S] or [214P]	Near Corner	176	+35%~	KY	Medium	End with 214P to enter neutral with the opponent in Stain State.	Video	TBD
Stain State 2K/5K > 66c.S > 6H > 236H > 214P	Corner	145	25~	KY	Easy	Needs further testing, as with the 5D stain state combo the dash can be omitted but it makes the combo more consistent.	Video	TBD

Slash Starters

Combo	Position	Damage	Tension Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes	Video	Recipe
c.S > 2D > 236H > 66 5K > 6H > ...	Anywhere	146	TENSION	KY	Easy	NOTES HERE	Video	TBD

Heavy Slash Starters

Combo	Position	Damage	Tension Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes	Video	Recipe
6H > 236[H] > 66 > c.S > f.S > 5H WS > 236S/236H	Corner	226	+25%	KY	Easy	66 > c.S needs to be slightly delayed in order for the opponent to fall into it.	Video	TBD
2H > f.S	Anywhere	77	-	KY	Very Easy	Surprisingly useful due to 2H being -2 on block and covering a lot of range	Video	TBD
6H > 236{H} > 66 c.S > j.S > j.H > j.D WS > 66 (delay) j.D WB	Back to Corner	225	-	KY	Medium	Sideswap combo to wallbreak utilising the partially charged Grave Reaper. You might be able to end with 6H for better damage, though j.D is easier to use.	Video	TBD

Dust Starters

Combo	Position	Damage	Tension Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes	Video	Recipe
5[D]8 > j.H > j.S > jc > j.H > j.S > j.D > j.SS	Anywhere	203	20%	ALL	Very Easy	Simple and optimised BNB for all characters.	Video	TBD
5[D]8 > j.H > j.D > jc > j.H > j.S > j.D > j.SS	Anywhere	~213	22%	MA, AX, PO, FA, MI, ZA, RA, LE, NA, GO	Easy	On half of the cast, you can swap a j.S for a j.D and get away with it. There's no logic for these characters it works on, it just does.	Video	TBD
5[D]8 > j.H > j.D > jc > j.S > j.H > j.D > j.SS	Anywhere	~212	22%	SO, GI, IN	Easy	Sol, Giovanna & I-No Specific Route, swapping the j.S and j.H to make the previous combo work on their wonkier hurtboxes.	Video	TBD
5[D]8 > j.D > j.S > jc > j.S > j.H > j.S > j.DD	Anywhere	208	21%	KY, CH, AN, JC, HC, BA, TE	Easy	The rest of the cast needs a different route to squeeze in more j.D's. Starting with j.D makes the scaling a lot better than the basic BNB, but the rest of the route is vastly different in order to adjust for the pushback.	Video	TBD
Stain State 5D > microdash > c.S > 5K > 6H > 214P	Corner	138	25~	KY	Easy	The microdash can be omitted however it makes the combo much more consistent, needs testing on different characters	Video	TBD
